The differences between leadership styles are not necessarily positive or negative in building leadership, but executives need to be aware of their style and how they come across to others in their organization and outside.
A year ago I went to a wedding where the bridesmaids wore identical dresses and the maid of honor wore a dress that was longer and a different style and color. For that wedding, the bride only chose the dresses for her bridesmaids and allowed the maid of honor to pick out her own dress.
But, uh, what does a maid of honor do, exactly? This job can entail quite a different workload depending on who the bride is and what style of wedding she has in mind. Of course, the maid of honor's level of involvement can also vary based on different factors, including the time commitment you're up for, and whether or not a wedding planner is involved. But whether you're someone who has been waiting for this since forever or a total newbie to the rituals of matrimony, a simple breakdown of what a maid of honor does can always help refresh your memory.
